Scope of application:
Cryptococcus, Aspergillus, Candida, Malassezia, dermatophytes, other fungi
Suitable specimen:
Urine, hair, sputum, dandruff and nail shavings, pleural effusion, leucorrhea and other secretions
Steps:
Expert evaluation:
High specificity, high efficiency and high sensitivity
●Greatly improve the positive rate of fungi, to avoid false positive
●Significantly shorten the time of fungal microscopy
●Accurate positioning of "true positive" and confident confirmation of "true negative"
●From impossible to possible: mycosis results quickly and sporotrichosis spores can be found
●Rapid detection of hair follicles
●It is helpful to study mycological morphology
●It is conducive to patient education and improved compliance
Compared with KOH wet tablet method, fluorescence staining method does not produce labeling for fat droplets, which is easy to identify and has high specificity.It can stain a small amount of fungi, which makes up for the low detection rate of the traditional KOH wet film method when the number of fungi is small. The dyeing time is short, only 1-2min, and the result is intuitive. Has a great advantage.
